What you need is some of this - https://www.designengineering.com//c...r/reflect-gold That should help with heat soak on your chargepipes since it'll "reflect" the heat away vs trapping any heat in

Unless it allows heat to escape while reflecting the outside heat back, that other stuff would do essentially the same thing you're describing. My thinking is that it's better off keeping the cooler air the charge pipe is bringing in than allowing the charger pipe to become heat soaked by the much hotter air under the hood, which would heat up the air coming in even more. The other thought is by not running any sort of wrap on it would the aluminum charge pipe dissipate some heat as the air travels through it, keeping AIT's lower than any intervention. I don't know the answer which is why I'm playing around wit it. Only a couple of zip ties to undo and find the answer. Plus the Ti heat wrap looks boss. The reflective stickers look like a blind guy wrapped a candy cane and something you'd find on a 10 year old subie with a fart can. There's also ceramic urethane coatings and such but that's not so easy to just try. And it keeps me occupied enough I don't get tempted to start charting likes Last edited by ChaseZ; 03-09-2017 at 09:45 AM. |

Likes Received: 3268 Likes Given: 3709 Ratio: 1.13 FWIW, insulation works equally well in any direction (although you can probably find a few exceptions). Insulation on the intake ducts is to keep heat out - any heat that makes it inside has to be sucked into the engine. Keep the heat out and you don't get as much hot air. If you do manage to heat soak the insulated ductwork, it doesn't have a lot of thermal mass and will cool off quickly. I think the reason the insulation tape got "shorter" when stretched is the width was reduced. The length was actually longer but the extra wraps (width was less so more wraps were needed) more than made up for it.

You've got to be on your way to setting an unbreakable record.
I have already started handing out more likes as a result of this thread.

Interestingly, this thread has gotten me 8 likes already - but none of them have been from ChaseZ. I think I've deterred him lol.
Not surprisingly, of those 8 - 3 are from JAR.
